We Are Life


Labour is blossoming or dancing where
.
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.
.
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
.
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
.
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
.
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
.
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
.
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
.
.
{William Butler Yeats}
